No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother-Chapter 466 - 464 It’s None of Your Business【4 Updates】

When Liam Spencer got home, Aunt Smith immediately went to report, "Young Master, from the moment Young Mistress came back, she looked like she’d lost her soul—her face pale, eyes vacant, and it seems she’s been crying."

"Hmm, got it." Liam replied, striding hurriedly towards the second floor. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

He turned the doorknob and, upon entering the study, saw Maya Spencer sitting dumbfounded on the carpet at the foot of the bed. She wasn’t crying or causing a fuss, just staring blankly, not even glancing at Liam.

Liam carefully walked to her side, sat on her left, raised his right hand, gently touching her small face, resting her little head on his shoulder, wanting to give her some comfort.

Maya took a deep breath, feeling the man’s comfort. She didn’t lift her head but leaned on his shoulder. What she needed now was someone to rely on, so she wouldn’t feel so alone.

Watching the girl’s lost and desperate look, Liam said sadly, "Maya, this has nothing to do with you. You didn’t want things to turn out this way. We can’t control other people’s thoughts and ideas."

Liam knew that after discovering the truth, Maya would certainly blame herself, thinking it was her fault Ethan Turner died.

But in Liam’s eyes, this matter didn’t have much to do with Maya. Although the cause was related to her, the primary responsibility lay with Aron Hanson’s narrow-mindedness and lack of trust in Maya.

Liam’s consolation didn’t bring Maya comfort; instead, it made her feel even worse. She thought, so Liam really had known who the murderer was all along.

Thus, she suddenly pushed away Liam’s hand from her face, stood up from the ground, and angrily said, "You knew the truth long ago, why did you hide it from me? Why didn’t you tell me?"

Liam immediately stood up too, grabbing Maya’s shoulders with both hands, earnestly saying, "I was afraid you couldn’t handle it, afraid you’d blame yourself, so I wanted to find the right time to tell you."

"Liam, you really can endure, even wrongly accused, without revealing the truth. Do you think doing this for me is good? If you had told me the truth earlier, Ella wouldn’t have foolishly set the fire, and I wouldn’t have slapped her. Do you know how guilty I feel now? I’m the one who killed Ethan Turner, and I still arrogantly went to teach Ella a lesson. What right do I have?" As Maya finished speaking, she choked up, her hands tightly clenched into fists, not knowing what to do.

Seeing her blame herself so much, Liam felt a pang of heartache. He was afraid to see Maya like this, leaving him helpless and unable to comfort her.

He lifted his hands, cradled her face, wiping away her tears, saying with heartache, "Maya, this really has nothing to do with you."

"Nothing to do with me? How could it have nothing to do with me? If it weren’t because of me, would Uncle have had a murderous intent on Ethan Turner?" Maya suddenly opened Liam’s hand, questioning with a cold smile.

Seeing the situation, Liam immediately pulled her into his arms, comforting, "Maya, don’t overthink it."

However, Maya couldn’t accept Liam’s comfort, nor could she accept his silent knowledge and concealment. She thought they had mutual trust, but it seemed she was self-deceiving.

So, she pushed against Liam’s chest with both hands, pushing him away, calmly saying, "Liam, let me be quiet, I care a lot about your concealment from me. I thought there were no secrets between us."

She then turned and walked downstairs, started her car, and headed alone to her apartment.

Watching the girl’s calmness and departing back, Liam placed his hands on his hips, frowned helplessly, thinking, this matter ultimately affected his relationship with Maya.

Although he knew that once the truth was revealed, Maya would blame him for keeping something from her, every time he tried to tell her the truth, he found it hard to speak.

Shortly after Maya left, Liam went after her. Maya had depression, and Liam was worried about her being alone in such a situation. He feared she wouldn’t know how to face Ella and might choose an extreme way to apologize to her, worried she might risk her life as a way of compensating Ethan Turner, so he went to follow her.

After Maya arrived at her apartment, she sat dumbly on the sofa, hugging her knees and staring at the unlit television in a daze.

Outside the door, Liam lazily leaned against the wall. As for Maya’s apartment, he had someone install cameras in hidden corners last night, and his phone was now connected to the cameras.

After receiving Elijah Reed’s call last night, he arranged all these actions, having anticipated that Maya would definitely feel down upon realizing he knew but hadn’t told her. She’d certainly want to be alone in her low mood. However, she had nowhere better to stay besides this apartment, so he made arrangements in advance.

He watched Maya sitting blankly on the sofa, unable to describe his mood. He wanted to be with her, but could only wait behind the wall.

At lunchtime, Elijah brought lunch for Liam and Maya, with Liam instructing, "Elijah, you go see Ella first, and hint to her that the evidence of Aron Hanson’s murder is real, so she can mentally prepare, in case Maya tells her the truth, she won’t be overwhelmed."

"Okay, BOSS. What about Young Master Hanson over there? Do we need to file a lawsuit now?"

"Have someone keep an eye on Aron’s movements to prevent his escape. Let’s wait on the lawsuit, wait until Maya accepts it, and see what she says."

"Okay, BOSS." Having said that, Elijah left first.

After Elijah left, Liam knocked on the apartment door, persuading, "Maya, could you open the door, please? Let’s have lunch first, using the energy to plan our next step, okay?"

Inside, hearing Liam’s voice, Maya immediately covered her ears. Ethan Turner was already dead, reduced to ashes, what plan could bring him back to life? And at this moment, how could she have an appetite to eat? She just found Liam’s voice annoying.

Outside the door, seeing Maya cover her ears, Liam stopped knocking and speaking. Instead, he placed the meal Elijah brought on the ground, sitting against the door.

Inside, Maya didn’t think of anything. She no longer had the energy for any thoughts, only knowing her mind was blank. She wanted to atone, but didn’t dare leave Ella without saying goodbye. She thought she must at least tell Ella the truth face-to-face, at least let her have her say, return the slap she received, before she could leave.

At this moment, aside from self-blame, Maya couldn’t consider anything else.

She forgot about Liam, she had promised him that she would never leave him.

As time ticked away, Maya gradually came to terms with the fact that Aron Hanson murdered Ethan Turner. His defenses no longer revolved in her mind.

As she slowly regained clarity, she began to attempt believing in her uncle; after all, it involved a life, should her uncle be so impulsive?

When her eyes finally caught the surroundings, she noticed the handbag on the coffee table gleaming.
